A lot of Ryback's moveset is gold:
* Murder by Lariat * Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder * Meat Grinder (what I call his Fisherman Buster-like move) He also used to do a Jackhammer early in his career. I'd actually mark out a little bit if he busted it out one week in response to the Goldberg chants. |

You'd either make a very good police witness or a terrible one.

He's probably one of the few hosses I like in the biz currently and I would probably be more impressed if he squashed a more notable wrestler instead of one ham n' egger after another.

It's not that we're particularly bashing Skip by saying "Goldberg did it first!!" Hell, this ride is quite enjoyable, but still the similarities are definitely present. It would be like if they gave Darren Young a gimmick where he wears a combination lock and chain around his neck and wears jorts in his matches, and more importantly added a spot to his moveset where he makes a superman comeback with 5 moves of doom at the end. Also, remember all the flack Goldberg got initally for basically being thought of as WCW's answer to Stone Cold... a bad-ass bald guy with a goatee and plain black ring attire. |

I remember the Austin/Goldberg comparisons back in the day, and knowing WCW, I wouldn't be surprised if the Goldberg character was all intentional, just to compete with the WWF and Austin at the time.

Difference is, whilst Goldberg looked like Austin they did something totally different with his character and his style was different. Ryback looks like Big Bill and has seemingly been given the same gimmick with similar moves. It's pretty easy to see where the comparison comes from.

Not a problem until it escalates to "all hosses all the time".

I'd be all for a Team Lesnar 2.0; Brock Lesnar, Mason Ryan, Ezekial Jackson, Ryback and Big Show vs whoever at Survivor Series.

But you're clearly unable to see similarities between people. You would see someone do something and then see the exact same person later and be like "looks nothing like him."

At a RAW house show, Dolph Ziggler brought out Mason Ryan as an "extra insurance policy" for a match against John Cena, in which Ryan did play the heel enforcer role (and didn't turn on Ziggler or anything).
Personally, I hope that makes it to TV. Ryan is not ready to be on his own as a babyface. As a heel back-up for someone, he's perfect. |

Even if they gave him the prefix "Triple H's Great And Entertaining"?

It is "Triple H's Massive & Entertaining (Ry)Back". Get it fucking right.

As long as the back in question is entertaining I don't care if it's right.

That seems to be the popular joke on YouTube. RyVDberg.
Back to Cool King, though: do you not also see the similarities in that Ziggler/Mr.Ass photo? What about Bizzaro Cena?? |
